I have been following Merritt for a number of years in other magazines and am delighted to see him being republished. Could you also reprint some of M.P. Shiel’s tales? Recently I read “The Purple Cloud” in another magazine and it was my first acquaint- ance with this author. A friend also lent me “Lord of the Sea,” and while it might be con- sidered too controversial for some people, it is well done. — Best of luck with your new venture. Douglas R.
